  1. NO WAY !!! I have been traveling so many years, and knives like that, no matter how long it is will be confiscated if you try to bring it through security. If you don’t believe me, Check out the TSA website.

  2. Hi.
    Well a Swiss army knife is a weapon. So its illegal to carry it on board. In your checked luggage fine, but not carry-on. No matter the length of it. If my nail clippers aren’t allowed, then a Swiss army knife definitely isn’t.
    :)

  3. They will NEVER let you do that. They took away my safety scissor & water bottle. And I’m always on planes because I’m always traveling. Do not bring it with you, it will just get taken away and never returned. They will throw it out.

  4. No. Put it in your checked bag if you really need it at your destination. If you don’t specifically need it, leave it at home.

  5. Certainly not. The people in security will defiantly take it off you. Remember that the weapons used to hijack the aircraft in 9/11 were box-cutters and stanley knives

  6. I highly doubt it,my dad travels all the time, he can’t even bring nail clippers because it’s considered a “weapon!”

    Definantly no way. Don’t even try. Metal Detectors? Hello? You’ll have to get a lecture by them. Don’t.

  8. Are you kidding? They’re confiscating nail clippers! Leave the knife in your checked luggage.

  9. no, not at all. it must be stored within your luggage, not your carry-on or on your person.

  10. I believe you are not allowed to.

  11. No, my dad got his taken away when he was going on a plane. Any flight wouldn’t let you do that.

  12. No way.
    They dont let you bring any thing sharp on the plane. Razors, scizzors, anything like that.

  13. No. Its a very dangerous WMD. ;^)~

  14. NOOO!! dont even try and take a chance with it .

  15. I don’t think so and i wouldn’t try it
